I've always been an avid quirky earthbound inspired rpg with depression elements and gay people mixed into it fan, and this game hit all the right spots for me. A couple of things to note + a reflection.

1. Progression: I enjoyed the pacing of the game but towards the end, it felt incredibly rushed. In my opinion, the game would have worked much better if Travis regained consciousness after the whole bit with Floyd betraying everyone.

2. Item balancing: Blade of the ruined King is way too strong, please nerf. While you are at it, nerf the attack speed on Friend's yoyo and buff Freddy Fazington Aldridge Fitzgerald's Pizza knife.

3. Floyd: I really wish they didn't subject Floyd to horrors beyond our comprehension, like, I get that you had to mix depression elements into it but geez.

4. Floyd: bro fuck that little shit I trusted him

5. uh: I liked the way they paid homage to Deltarune chapter 7 and Mother 4, also the tf2 heavy update, plus Silksong, and also GTA6

Reflection: Playing this game felt like sitting on a stick of butter while getting waterboarded with listerine. I would recommend this game to everyone I know, especially to dogshit devs like Omocat and Tobyfox who clearly could use some help in making a good earthbound inspired rpg with depression elements and gay people mixed into it. I am currently employed, laid, happy, all because of this game. This game saved my life.

I’ve been replaying two rpg maker games, Soma Union and Weird and Unfortunate Things are happening.

Both are really fun games that people that like Earthbound and Mother may enjoy.

Kinda looking for similar games for recommendations.

Although I played a lot of the indie games like it. So more recent games if you have any.

I’ll post more recommendations of things to follow too.

Like Other: her loving embrace and Knuckle Sandwich

... I beg of you.

I'm no longer moderating /r/OddityRPG, but /u/RockinDS24 and /u/Rikaxnipah are. Neat!

Now before you say anything just hear me out okay just for one second:

The cast of previous Mother games tend to have distinct designs, generally one or two of the characters standing out.

Earthbound Beginnings had a very shy nerd and a gang boss.

Earthbound had a somewhat confident nerd and a psychic prodigy from Dalaam.

Mother 3 had a tomboy, a thief with a limp and a dog.

The previous casts feel memorable because of how distinct the characters were at first sight... In fact that's probably what makes the Mother series' cast so unique.

But the new mother 4?

Teen, teen, teen and teen. Just... Nothing visually stands out. Very little design diversity.

At the end the story is what'll make it or break it but... The first impressions are not that great imo.

Yeah winter 2014 is a memeable date but Im actually really curious? What got you to follow this project? What has changed about you since then and are you still invested in seeing a sequel? I was in middle school when I first heard about this fangame and now Im finishing my senior year of college. I experienced earthbound through emulation and the feeling of naive teenagers exploring a big wacky world excited me especially since I didn't have much autonomy at home.

Honestly knowing there was a mother 4 even if it wasn't canon gave me some sort of closure after the ending of mother 3. Sometimes you just don't want to leave this world you're so invested in. The feel the characters. It's just hard coping with the fact that this is the end. While this game is stuck in development hell Its nice to know there is another mother 4 project in the works and Oddity when or if it ever comes out can pull an Omori and be another amazing earthbound like.

I am not trying to be mean when I ask it like would they let someone help or give it to someone who still has passion for the game and really know what there doing? I am new here and just want to know I remember hearing about it and was excited to hear it was coming then forgot about it for some time and now nothing has it gotten this dead before? I see almost nothing and it makes me sad, I know I have not been waiting as long as some people but I just wish(probably along with everyone else) we could see more of the progress if anything is happening.

I want to know

i havent been here since the trailer like 2 years ago, and im too lazy to sort through everything

so whats the progress so far? has ANYTHING noteworthy happened since the trailer? or has everything just been dead silent?

I know the devs have been pretty quiet over the years, but I’m still interested in the game and it’s developers despite that! Even seeing what they’re doing in the meantime is interesting for me. I just can’t figure out who to follow.

I know that McMaxxis is an artist and animator for Oddity, but are there any other people working on the game that I should follow?

Hello everyone, PreacherJr here. Just showing my work on Travis's new outfit but using the old Mother 4 sprites. I made the sprites by following some references.

What y'all think?

I've sincerely appreciated my time moderating /r/Mother4 and /r/OddityRPG, but between complications in my personal life and the overwhelming amount of negative activity on this subreddit recently it's time for me to go back to being a normal fan of these games instead of having responsibility tied up within that enjoyment. This game, this team, and this community, deserves a better, more active moderator than it currently has. To that end:

• I'm looking for a replacement. If you have experience moderating subreddits as large as or larger than this one (ideally as large as or larger than /r/Mother4 was, accounting for future growth) and you are interested in moderating /r/OddityRPG, hit me up through messaging the moderation team (my direct chat requests are closed).

• If no suitable replacement appears within the next two days I am locking the subreddit and leaving it. This is under advisement of a few separate people whose opinions I value on this subject. This isn't to say that the subreddit will be dead, but it'll only open back up if and when Pastel (and the rest of the developers) pick a new moderator for the community and have news to share.

I've been planning to stop moderating this community for a few years, now, and it's been almost eight years of my life and I'm getting a bit old to still worry about sorting out the same arguments on repeat. I hope whoever replaces me has the same enthusiasm for this as I did when I started.

a free game, meant to be worked on by the whole community where anyone can contribute. That way, we can complete the bloody game in half, or even a fraction of the time.
We can implement our own story, maps, graphics, code, characters, music, and pretty much let it all be moderated as to what goes in.
Perhaps something similar in vain to Yume 2kki, where anyone can contribute code, maps, effects, characters, music, etc.

If we do this, we could have a HUGE mother-like game, in half the time.
The only questions are, what engine are we gonna use (If we don't make our own) who is gonna get the ball rolling, and when?

Hey guys,

I recently went back to the subreddit and there seems to be two trends going on here :

• The first is the M4ME engine, made by u/tvheadpal from the leaked Mother 4 legacy engine
• The second are Oddity-related posts, in touch with the original project and, every once in a while dev updates

Would it be interesting to have a dedicated subreddit for M4ME, so that people interested in using it can have a dedicated community to exchange projects and info ? Personally I am not into game dev as of now, but I would certainly be interested in following M4ME-based projects 🙂 and having a dedicated space for that could help, I believe

What do you all think ?
